**************************
Tapers notes: How this recording even came to be is just one of those "dumb luck" stories. My roommate and I go to the Winter Dance Party every year in Clear Lake, IA, and 2 years ago we happened to bump into a guy (Coltan) there. He was one of those guys where everyone he met was instantly his friend, just great energy. We got to talking throughout the night, and he mentioned he had a rockabilly band based in Rochester (about an hour and a half from us) and we should come see them sometime. It took a while, but we did eventually make it to a show, and it was a ton of fun. Shows like this are why I'm so passionate about local, independent music. When you get to know the people involved and become friends with them, it makes the music and experience that much better. It's why so many of the shows I attend are what some would consider "lesser known" musicians, but they mean the world to me.
